LEEDS United goalkeeper Paul Rachubka answered an SOS from Prenton Park by joining Tranmere last night.

The 30-year old signed on a month’s loan after regular No.1 Owain Fon Williams broke his hand in training – and will make his Tranmere debut in the League One game at Exeter City tomorrow.

Rachubka has made more than 250 career appearances since beginning his career at Manchester United. In addition to spells at Huddersfield Town and Blackpool, he has played on loan for Oldham Athletic, Peterborough United, Northampton Town and MK Dons.

Tranmere manager Les Parry said: “We are lucky to be able to bring in a goalkeeper of Paul’s experience at short notice.

“I’m grateful to Leeds manager Simon Grayson for allowing him to join us for a month.”
